Tide


once I tried to seize the spindle
of ocean's ebb and flow
held up by coral moon's allure
a hymn called to me

the drift did sway
and swept the tenor
which carried crashing spume
hard as I rowed, I made no gain
left stranded beyond the blue

the tide will crash
and undertow
takes whatever it may please
I learned that day the grace of sailing
and in the drift of things

to push against the mighty pull
sees no reward or peace
listen to the quietude
it will take you where you need

and when I stopped
the ocean spoke
'everything is divine'
your journey ceases only when
you push against the tide
